Scotland (1-0-1) vs. Brazil (1-1-0) — Group C Match Preview
Scotland arrive at Miami Stadium sitting third in Group C on 3 points after two matches, while Brazil top the group on 4 points with a goal difference of plus-3 from their 4 goals scored. This is the kind of gap the table makes plain, and yet Scotland are here at all only after ending a 28-year absence, their first World Cup since 1998 and their ninth appearance overall, a nation that has never advanced beyond the group stage in eight prior tries.
Brazil, by contrast, are the record 5-time champions and the only country to appear at every World Cup, though Carlo Ancelotti’s side carry the weight of chasing the end of a 24-year title drought stretching back to 2002. Up front for Brazil, Vinicius Junior brings the form of a player who scored 16 goals with 5 assists for Real Madrid in LALIGA this season, and alongside him Raphinha managed 13 goals of his own for Barcelona.
Scotland answer through John McGinn, who contributed 5 goals and 4 assists in the Premier League for Aston Villa this season, and Scott McTominay, the 2024-25 Serie A MVP whose stoppage-time bicycle kick capped the 4-2 win over Denmark that sealed qualification. The sides have met only twice, most recently a friendly in 2011, but their previous meeting came at the 1998 FIFA World Cup™, a 2-1 Brazil win in the tournament opener. With Brazil holding the better goal difference and Scotland needing a result to climb out of third, the math here favors the side in white, but a single point would keep the Scots alive heading into the final reckoning of Group C.

Players to Watch: Scotland vs. Brazil
Scotland
Scott McTominay — Midfielder. Named the 2024-25 Serie A MVP, McTominay carried that form into the Champions League with Napoli this season, putting up 4 goals from 16 shots across 8 starts. His stoppage-time bicycle kick against Denmark capped the 4-2 win that sent Scotland to a World Cup for the first time since 1998.
John McGinn — Midfielder. The Aston Villa man is Scotland’s most productive attacking midfielder, with 5 goals and 4 assists from 28 shots over 28 Premier League starts this season. That all-action profile makes him the engine Steve Clarke leans on to connect a Scotland side that has never reached a World Cup knockout round.
Craig Gordon — Goalkeeper. At 43, the Heart of Midlothian keeper is the oldest player at the tournament, and he brings real recent sharpness, with 3 saves, a clean sheet and 2 goals conceded across 2 starts in the SPFL Premiership this season. Against a Brazil attack this potent, his shot-stopping could decide whether Scotland stay in the Group C race.
Brazil
Vinicius Junior — Winger. The Real Madrid forward is Brazil’s headline threat, having scored 16 goals with 5 assists from a striking 101 shots across 32 LALIGA starts this season. His direct running from the left is the kind of weapon Scotland’s defense will have to track for 90 minutes.
Raphinha — Winger. Raphinha has emerged as an attacking leader for Brazil, backing it up with 13 goals and 3 assists from 65 shots over 18 LALIGA appearances for Barcelona this season. Paired with Vinicius Junior on the opposite flank, he gives Ancelotti a second source of goals that few defenses in this group can contain.
Neymar — Forward. Recalled as a wildcard with his fitness uncertain, the Santos forward still offers a player who registered 4 goals and 2 assists from 21 shots in 8 starts in Brazil’s Serie A this season. When healthy, his vision and set-piece delivery add a dimension Brazil’s younger wingers cannot replicate.
